I'm going to keg my homebrew for the first time today, i have been bottling and I'm sick of it. This video was really informative and straight forward so thank you

Fantastic overview. I'm a new kegger and this is the most comprehensive tutorial I've seen.

Sir I all so making beer tower in india

Thank you! Great video!! Been brewing for about a year and anxious to start the kegging process. Can't thank you enough!!

Really great video, easily understandable even for novices! Thank you so much!

Picking up a 3-tap system today and so far this is easily the most informative video I have found. Thanks!

This video was incredibly helpful! Cheers.

Excellent job! This was extremely helpful.

Thank you Dave. That was a terrific video. Nice job.

Thank you for these videos helped me visualize what to do with my first keg!

Thank you so much for making this video. Very good information

Excellent overview! Thank you.

Very detailed and meticulously thorough. Thank you!

incredible education here. Thank you!

Excellent video very detailed, relevant and kept on subject whilst showing the whole process.

Awesome! Simple, concise and easy to understand. Cheers 🍻

Thank you so much! This video was seriously amazing.

Super good video. I bought 2 Corny kegs New Years Day for $25 each from a local guy that was moving; it was a fantastic deal I could not pass up. Your video gave me all the information and education I needed to get started making Draft Beer. Sweet.

amazing! thank you for sharing all this information!

This was probably the most well informed lesson, that covered everything pertaining to kegs. It was a great refresher course for me. Thanks a million.

Great video and info thanks Dave.

Very informative! Thank you very much.

Brilliant video, as I am just starting to keg, I found this to be very helpful and informative! Thankyou🍻

Nicely presented for a new kegger like me. Learnt a lot thanks!

Very informative video - thank you!

Thank you so much very informative!

This was useful to me as a refresher when I started to put beer in kegs again after 15 years away.

Major Problem with video advice: The use of petroleum lubricant for O-rings. Never use a petroleum products on O-rings. This includes Vaseline, which is petroleum jelly. The petroleum will attack and eat O-rings. It can swell them very large so they do not fit within the grove or track on re-assembly. Use silicon or O-ring specific grease. DC-4 is mil-spec and designed for O-rings. Triflow silicon grease is also safe for O-rings. generally, a silicon based lubricant is safe. For food grade, look for NSF Food Grade lubricant.

Yep, he just wasn’t specific on this one point, but the product he used is simply called keg lube (not Vaseline or anything like that). Available at all homebrew shops for a few bucks for basically a lifetime supply.

The best!! The best Keg and carbonating video!! Well and detailed explained. Thank you very much for this!!

This helped me so much thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you for this tutorial. Very well explained and obviously targeted at people like me who are totally new to the whole kegging process. The thumbs down people obviously know everything already, which makes me wonder why they watched this video in the first place.

Thank you! Very descriptive. Cheers!

very very good vid with great info

This is brilliant! Thank you!

Very nice excellent information. I am truly impressed. This helped me out for my first legging attempt.

I was looking for a video about kegs from scratch, as long as i have no idea about how they works. I've found NOTHING useful on the italian hb'ing channels. I'm aware that in Italy we dont have a beer culture at all, so i always have to switch to australian or american channels to find the information i need in the right way, like this one! These videos from CB&B are perfect, as they're CLEAN from (stupid and annoying) YT music, easy to follow, the personnel is very very competent and the quality of the video is awesome: It serve the purpose, not like the videos from italian homebrewers...approximate and unuseful as they dont explain nothing (good and qualified italian hb'ers are very rare). Congratulation for the job! I Love CB&B videos.

great video thanks!

great job!

Great video!

Hey Dave, great video! I have a quick questions and I hope you can help me out... Im looking to start putting my beer in kegs. I really want to go ball lock but found a great deal on two pinlock. Can I swap the fittings on the kegs for ball lock or should I just go with pinlock? Is one better than the other?

If you put the speed of the video to 2x, you can still understand him. Saves you about 20 min

This is very comprehensive. Thank you for sharing!

So glad I watched this! I can really put it to use for my brews/videos, cant wait!

good stuff

Love the videos, also just saw the label on this corny keg and it said “clinton’s ditch bottling co, Cicero NY” I drive by clinton’s ditch every single day as it is about 5 minutes from my house. Small world.

I like to put some sanitizer into a spray bottle to use on the small exterior hook ups etc. Everclear makes a great sanitizer for this method as well.

Excellent Video! This has to be the best kegging video available, Thank You! 2 things I would've like to have seen covered in this video (kept thinking he was gonna say it) 1. After sanitizing.. What about that little bit of suds left in there from acid base sanitizer? What do you do? 2. What about sticking taps (one's that have sit a few days), from sediment/sugars. How to fix, the ways on how to prevent it, or at least minimize it, which connection type do you think is better? Not trying to knock it, i am just trying to help and learn at the same time. Much respect! Again thank you for your very informative video! 👍

Thanks for the video. Very helpful! Now I know how I can save time by carbonating the beer in the cooler. Only 4 weeks from Brewday to the tasting, is that true?

Extremely helpful - thank you!

What is your opinion of the modified lids with the 3rd gas port and a air stone, on the end of a 2 ft. piece of tubing, for carbonating the keg ? Saw these on Amazon. Thanks, Lee, Indianaolis

Drinking Weihenstephaner !!! Excellent choice!!! Great informative video

Awesome video, saved my ass! Thanks a lot

0:45 Bottlebombs happened to me, tis actually why I switched to minikegs. I keep my beer in my closet so I spent hours cleaning up beer and itty bitty shards of glass and I'm *still* finding glass eight months later.

Is it possible to use a beer engine hand pump ( the ones they use in the UK ) on the ball lock kegs to draw the beer from the keg?

if you are using iodine sanitizer do you need to let the keg interior dry before adding wort?

Your AWESOME 🍺

If I am able to make really good cider and beer I will definitely get into kegging.

Do you have any written instructions. I am gonna try this

If in a hurry to carbonate will living it at 30psi speed it up? Another thought I had is on this subject is if you run your gas In Through the Outdoor(Zep I went there) for a couple of days and give it a purge every now and then, then switch it back before you pour?

I use sanke. Do one with those please

Great video - I have 2 pin lock corny kegs I got from a retired home brewer and want to use but it is my 1st time kegging ... do you have a video or tips on how to clean, tap and or disassemble the pin lock keg?? Thanks at least from your video I know what type I have.

Hang on!! 34:08 Do you leave the same pressure setting for serving as for carbonating? What about 'line balancing'? All I get out of my keg is foam

Best kegging tutorial on the Internet! Thank you! 😊 👍🏻 Even though this video is 3 years old I'm hoping I can get one question answered. Whilst carbonating my beer at (say) 12 psi - do I need to leave my gas cylinder connected? Cheers... 😊

17:30, I have seen oxy-based cleaners marketed as sanitizers for one-step cleaning/sanitizing. Does that work, or am I risking ruining a beer?

So when carbonating in kegs in not really quicker than priming? Both approx 2 weeks?

Hi. I was a bit confused. You said you want about 2.5 PSI to force carbonate but then said about 12 PSI at Sea level. Why the difference please?. Also, when the beer is ready to go, do you have to continue to pressurise the keg with the C02 cylinder to cause the beer to flow out well from the tap of does the C02 cylinder get dis-connected once the carbonation process is complete?. Thankyou in advance.

Excelent

6 weeks is a quick turnaround?

The Weihenstephaner Abbey, oldest brewery in the world, and its history is amazing and the beers taste good too, as i see you know. Good educational video. #p3brews

Another quick tip, 70% Iso will take out any smells. I've had a hell of a time trying to get soda odors out of these kegs... soak all small parts in 70% iso for 10 min and throw about a cup in the keg and shake a few times to get rid of odors. Rinse with COLD water (the last thing you want is a bathroom or kitchen full of rubbing alcohol steam) at least thrice, then reassemble and sanitize as normal.

@jamisonburke8777

Also... I always pump a little CO2 into the keg when it's full of sanitizer and purge some sanitizer up through the dip tube under pressure to make sure it really gets into the tube and poppets. Cheers!

I am a bit confused with the carbonation. Do I have to leave the CO2 connected during the 2 weeks so the beer absorbs it? I think I do but I am not 100% sure. I appreciate the help and apologize for the dumb question. Lol. Cheers!

@pickles2000

Yes, that’s correct.

Your course is very informative and I enjoyed it I just want to say to be sure that buying co2 it comes from a supplier that follows FDA guidelines and tracking and notification if they get a bad batch. I am new to home brew but I install co2 systems for bars restraunts and breweries

Do I need to have the co2 connected to the keg while it's carbonating for two weeks ?

@Beerandbrewing

4 жыл бұрын

That is definitely best practice. It is possible to overcharge (put it at 30psi) it and disconnect CO2, then come back a day later and see how much has gone into solution - this way is tedious and error prone though.

IS Star-san good for cleaning/ sanitizing as well?

@kylesteele9403

3 жыл бұрын

Star-san sanitizes, it doesn't clean. Soap to clean, star-san to kill anything else. Bleach does both -- but even a small amount will kill any yeast colony you put in there via the chlorine

Does the keg have to be refrigerated? Or can it be stored, connected to the c02 tank, in a cool place?

@pickles2000

The CO2 will be absorbed into solution much faster if it’s colder but it will generally work in a ‘cool’ place too - it will just take longer to carbonate.

@MartinFoCo94

He does purge it, however, if the beer is flat, that 30 psi is mostly in the headspace, and will dissolve into the liquid, which will eventually decrease the psi to 15 again.

Do you rinse after the sterilizing?

@PenProd

6 жыл бұрын

Yes, the CO2 tank needs to be connected to the keg and set to an appropriate "serving pressure" when serving the beer. That's how the beer is pushed out of the keg and into your glass.

@josecarrillo8704

Jeff Sandman It depends on the beer style as every beer carbonates differently. I would recommend you to set it at about 3-5 psi. Cheers

As soon as your beer is ready, can you remove the CO2 canister or is it necessary to keep attached to pressurize the beer to have it flow out? I'm looking to keg my own beer for a few hour event and would like if I didn't have to have a CO2 canister to travel along with me.

Dude, I've seen a lot of you Americans do it the hard way with siphoning. All my fermenters have a spigot tap attached to them . Google image plastic spigot tap. 1/2" hole about 1" from the bottom of the bucket to stop the trub flowing in and good to go.

i'm brand new to brewing, and i was thinking along the same lines, that if you had a tap about an inch off the bottom, you would not need to bother with the siphon

Better to start the siphon above the yeast and avoid as much yeast transfer, but, guess you can just dump a few glasses. Better to fill the keg w CO2 to purge O2 before transfer. I know you’re keeping it simple, but, obviously one has to have the CO2 hooked up anyway to keg..might as well teach how to purge the keg.

Surely the 15psi will do nothing because you already Pressurized to 30psi to seat the lid?

Use food grade silicone for your o-rings, not Vaseline.

I agree that a keg is great, but in terms of something going wrong, if it's a bottle, it's one. If it's the keg, it a whole keg!
